Chapter 227: Chapter 222: The Second Daughter Born Illegally

"Unfilial daughter! How dare you talk to your own mother like that?" Ye Fu charged over and kicked Ye Qiu in the stomach. He used all his strength, and his kick was swift. Even though Ye Qiu reacted in time, she was still hurt.

"Cough, cough." Ye Qiu coughed painfully, but none of the so-called family members present cared about her.

Although Ye Xia was shocked by Ye Fu’s sudden action, she quickly took pleasure in the fact that the lie was covered up. Ye Dong watched the scene as if it were a play, baring her teeth and grinning at Ye Qiu. Ye Fu and Ye Mu were convinced that Ye Qiu was a reprobate full of lies and vanity, who disrespected her parents and was ungrateful. As for Granny Ye and Grandpa Ye, their eyes only valued their grandson; a granddaughter who could not bring benefits to their grandson was insignificant in their eyes.

"Kneel down," Ye Fu bellowed. He believed that his daughter had been led astray by her grandmother in the countryside and had only picked up bad habits since coming to the city, and as her father, it was his duty to "correct her ways."

"Impossible," Ye Qiu said as she struggled to stand up, her tone cold.

"You still won’t admit your fault. At such a young age, you’re already a habitual liar. I foresee a future where you will end up in jail," Ye Mu said harshly, looking at Ye Qiu.

"Since your hearts have already drifted to the Pacific Ocean, no matter what I do, it’s wrong; everything I say, you claim is a lie. So why should I listen to you?" Ye Qiu said sarcastically, looking at her family. In both her past and present life, she had always been the superfluous one. Strangers and nameless elderly men knew to treat her with kindness, but her closest family always assumed the worst in her. How ironic?

"Wasn’t it good for you that I spent so much money to get you into First High School?" Ye Fu looked coldly at his second daughter, agreeing with his wife that they never should have brought her back. From the year she returned, the house was in constant upheaval, never at peace.

"That was just for your own pride. If it weren’t for my aunt telling you about my grandmother’s passing, you probably would have forgotten that you had a daughter like me long ago," Ye Qiu mercilessly exposed the true face of her family, making Ye Fu’s face burn.

Although he would not admit it aloud, Ye Fu couldn’t deny that Ye Qiu was right. Over the years, he and his wife had been busy with their business. Especially during the New Year, when business was booming, they were even busier, so they never visited his mother-in-law’s home. In their busyness, they had forgotten that they had a biological daughter there.

But was that his fault? If it wasn’t for her being a girl, which resulted in him being fined a hefty fee for exceeding the birth limit, he would not have to toil so tirelessly. And hadn’t he compensated her? Wasn’t sending her to the key class in First High School with so much money not enough? Thinking this, Ye Fu felt he was not in the wrong and was certain that Ye Qiu was an ungrateful wretch who could not be tamed.

"If you miss your grandmother so much and think we’re so bad, then roll back to the countryside. Don’t even think about getting a cent from me in the future."

"Fine, I’ll leave." Ye Qiu took a deep breath, coldly swept her eyes over the group of so-called family members, and then went back to her room to pack her bags.

When she arrived, she brought only a small suitcase, and now, after a full year had passed, the only additional belongings she had were some books. Compared to Ye Xia’s collection of clothes that couldn’t even fit on an entire wall, Ye Qiu’s possessions were meager. From the initial loss to now, Ye Qiu could not care less. She didn’t want anything to do with this family in the future.

They had never fulfilled their responsibilities towards her anyway, so she wouldn’t be expecting them to ask for her help in the future.

Ye Xia was somewhat panicked by how the situation unfolded; she didn’t expect her parents to actually drive Ye Qiu out of the house, and even less so that Ye Qiu would resist so resolutely. She followed Ye Qiu back to the room and watched nervously as Ye Qiu packed her belongings.

"What, here to monitor me? Afraid I’ll ’steal’ your things again?" Ye Qiu said mockingly as she looked at her.

Being stared at with such dark eyes by Ye Qiu, Ye Xia felt a moment of discomfort and advised with evasive eyes: "Ye Qiu, go apologize to mom and dad, they will forgive you. Granny has passed away, your uncles and aunts won’t take you in."

"You must be pleased, not only did you successfully pocket six thousand yuan, you’ve also driven out the ’outsider’ who was occupying your room and wardrobe."

Ye Xia took a deep breath, her cheeks reddening slightly: "How can you think so badly of me?"

"We both know very well who’s right and who’s wrong, Ye Xia, I advise you to be kind-hearted."

"You’re simply ungrateful," Ye Xia said angrily in embarrassment.

"There’s a price to pay for lying, Ye Xia, I just hope you’ll have the ability to cover the cost of your lies in the future." Having said that, Ye Qiu ignored her, dragging her suitcase and leaving the room.

Ye Xia was filled with rage at Ye Qiu’s words, and immediately no longer felt that she was in the wrong. She had tried to advise Ye Qiu, after all. Who told her to talk back to her parents? If her character weren’t so strange, she wouldn’t have been kicked out by mom and dad—it was all Ye Qiu’s own fault!

From the moment Ye Qiu entered to collect her belongings to the time she walked out, the whole process took less than ten minutes. During this time, apart from a guilty Ye Xia’s insincere attempts to persuade her, not a single person cared about her; then they just coldly watched Ye Qiu leave this home.

"Mom, Ye Qiu is just a girl, and it’s getting late. What if something happens to her? If I had known she would be so decisive, I wouldn’t have accused her of stealing my money." Ye Xia, perhaps out of guilt or perhaps to maintain her image as a caring and sensible person, clung to Ye Mu’s arm and expressed her concern.

Seeing this, Ye Mu consoled her by patting her hand: "This isn’t your fault. It’s that girl who is ungrateful. I want to see where she can go. In the end, she’ll still have to come back and beg me."

"Alright, let’s all go to sleep," Ye Fu declared with a dark face, extremely displeased. Clearly, he did not expect Ye Qiu to dare to openly defy him, the head of the family. Now that she has left, she better not come back begging him.

After leaving the Ye Family home, Ye Qiu first called her aunt in the countryside. It was somewhat laughable; although the fine for her birth beyond the policy was paid by Ye Fu, her household registration was still under her uncle’s name to this day.

Although she was raised by Granny Ye, her aunt had also done her duty by her. It’s unheard of for parents who are alive and well, and who have made a fortune, to let their family raise their child. Over the years, though her aunt had not been exceptionally kind to her, she didn’t utter a word of complaint when Granny used her own savings to pay for Ye Qiu’s tuition.

Not to mention her aunt had two sons, and over the years as these cousins went to school and got married, financial pressures increased for her aunt’s family as well. Ye Qiu was also very grateful for her aunt’s care over the years.

The one thing Ye Qiu now felt fortunate about was that her household registration was with her uncle. Although her uncle and aunt didn’t care for her much, at least they were not as indifferent and heartless as her biological parents.
